Monday night is so boring. I've no more dramas t watch 'cept for the Fugoh Keiji 2. But I'm kinda sleepy. Tomorrow we're meeting at 830am for school. I think it's time I start changing (is it good?)

It's 11.44pm here. I'm still not feeling sleepy due t the looong sleep I had last night:D I went t sleep at 3am this morning and woke up at 1pm this noon:p Shiok t the max!!! Although I'm not sleepy, I'm feeling a little giddyish. I guess I'll sleep after blogging:( The sunday is spent at home. I slept till 1pm, had a late brekkie, continued my hk-drama obsession. During the hk-drama obsession, I cooked a simple lunch (instant noodles) 'cause I was plain lazy and did the housework chores (sweep and mop the floor, wash my clothes). I especially like the feeling aft doing the housework chores! The super clean floor<3 All of us had dinner over at David's room. A nice dinner of rice, scrambled egg, fried fish fillet, veggie/potato soup. Chatted for awhile before I came back t my room t continue watching the last 2 episodes of The Four (少年四大名捕). Finally finished watching it:D 少年四大名捕 is really a nice period drama, especially with my fave 4 actors in it! wooooo~ Tomorrow, everyone who is on spring break will be back in school. The school will be lively again, David and I will start the engine!!! vrooooooom~ Goodnight. Miss mommy and daddy!!! :( :( :(

The time now is 22.36 here. It's the weekend!!! Slept till 930am after pressing the snooze button a plenty of times. All of us met at Level 0 at 1115am. Off, we went t the school. Off t another session of poker games! >.< wooooooo~ I'm super duper addicted t poker now:p We stopped playing poker for awhile before going over t the restaurant that sells good kebab! Nice eh! It's yummy!!!! After lunch, we (plus trax) continued our game of poker! We played till 5 smtg, close t 6 i think. Then we headed t Noisy Le Grand, the nearest station with a shopping mall. I bought a optical mouse, earpiece, notebooks:D Like finally!!!!! Even though the notebooks are in checkered boxes, we still have t use it under the circumstances:( I'm a happy girl:D Yay! Had dindin over at Nick's room:D A super yummy spaghetti with carbonara sauce! I'm still watching The Four now. It's sucha addictive hk drama:D woooooooooooo~

-yawn- I started the day off by yawning away all day long. I ate the vomitting medicine and the panadol for flu tgt in the morning before brekkie. After a while, I felt super sleepy. I guess it's the drowsiness effect from the medicine. I was literally like a walking zombie this morning. I feel so tired, that I can sleep while walking =x Did alittle on the project with David. Then continue t watch my hk drama. Had smtg different for lunch:D (rice with baked fish) Skyped with mom aft lunch. Mommy was complaining that I kept yawning and thought what happened t me luh! Hope I didn't give her any worries:( We packed up and left the project room around 4 smtg PM. I thought we were going back home, but this is only the beginning of the fun part of today. We went up t Club Nix for poker games (i think it's texas poker). It was my first time playing it, and now I feel kinda addicted already:p 'cause I was on a winning streak:D:D:D Beginner's luck sia! We played poker till 7pm. Shiok right! (nod head) Reached home. I started cooking my ribbon pasta for dinner. It's pasta with bolognese and crab meat and ham. Awfully proud of myself luh! (i think mommy will love me for that) I overestimated the share and I left one small bowl of cooked pasta so I kept the small bowl of pasta in the fridge. Gonna eat pasta tomorrow. I'm currently addicted t the hk drama, The Four (少年四大名捕). And btw, tomorrow we're meeting the french students for lunch. Hmm, I wonder what are we eating for tomorrow's lunch alr:p Plus, I'm still not sick of the cloud-makers (planes) I saw every morning (or should I say every time I look up the sky)! pssh, i'm still looking for optical mouse here (seek mommy's permission for that) and, i wonder which kind soul can airmail organiser and some pens over? apparently, we didn't see any bookstores around here. i guess the people in france don't use the traditional note taking way eh! >.< i want my organiser.... i want my pens....

It's friday tomorrow. Everyone just love fridays (looking forward t the weekend) :D We've already planned of going t the Chinatown and prolly the Italian shopping mall this weekend. So looking forward t it luh! Maybe I can buy alot of sonvenirs back too! And I just realised I have a looong list of things t buy back t sg. I wonder if the luggage can tahan the stuffs I bought in france plus my clothes etc. -prays hard that it can tahan- I also got a loong list of what I wanna get here luh! France leh:p The chocolates here, like super cheap! I bought so many kinder products from the supermart. A box of 6 kinder surprise (4.99 euros), a box of 10 kinder buenos (5.99), a box of 20 kinder delicé (6.99), a box of 30 ferrero rocher (4 smtg euros)!!! Cheap or what!!! >.< I've a big craving for chocolates recently. Thus i bought so much chocolates back home:p If mommy knows, she'll surely scream off my head 'cause chocolates are heaty! oops=x The apartment room is still v cold every day. Especially when I wokeup the next day, the floor is super freezing cold. And I closed the window too. I just found out that the cold air comes from the little gap below the door, from the corridor. Sian!!! I'm thinking how t cover the gap up! If not every night, i'll be sleeping in a freezer!! I blame myself for not being well prepared about the spring temperature here. I thought since it's spring, it should be about air con temperature, but it turns out otherwise. Every morning, when I check the daily weather report online, it's always less than 10 degrees for the lowest. Argh!!! I wonder how does summer feels like. Is it v warm, or abit warm but still kinda windy. Hmmmm? EISEE's two weeks spring break is ending soon. By next week, all the students will be back for school. It'll be lively again:D As much as I miss my family and the sg food, I guess i'll prolly miss france once this whole attachment ends. The people here are really friendly! Once all seven of us are back in sg, I guess grocery shopping is no kick already luh! We do grocery shopping once/twice daily leh! Whenever we sees a supermart, we'll go in, lol! Independent liao eh:D I think once I goes back t sg, I'll change myself for the better. - Treat my family even better than now (i'm not ill treating them luh!). - Do my part as a family member and do housework chores w/o grumbles. - Always plan what I want t do daily and be organised. (learn my own mistakes) - Cook for my family every now and then. - Get a job once I graduate (paying dad back and of course, lessen dad's load) - Be super good daughter t mommy and dad dearest<3 - I want t spend more time with po po<3 Speaking of all these, I do feel homesick already. But mommy always tell me t take care of myself and be independent! For my bright future and for a worthwhile experience here, I'll toletrate and go through all the 3 months here. (: (: (: The 3 months here ain't a torture. With the right accompany, with the right supervisors, with the right place i'm in! Once these three months are over, I guess everything is back t normal. But alot of things are created through these three months and I doubt it'll change. The friendship bonds we formed through this period of time, the experience we gone through as an overseas attachment student, being independent, just being strong for ourselves:D I don't believe that all seven of us will just turn a blind eye t one another after this trip. I don't believe the friendship bonds we formed here will deminish slowly back in sg. I'll create more gatherings! More topics t talk about!!!! Remember every single jokes and fun I had here:D I'm contented already, 'cause life is beautiful! Live life t the fullest<3

I've been eating well, sleeping well (i hate soft pillow, nightmare). What's there t update about my life in France? Weekdays are boring, 'cause we have school. So it's like the usual going-to-school routine (wake up, bathe, prepare, train-ed t school, lunch, computers-entertainment, end work, back home) After reminding my lil brothers t download Skype, we've been skyping quite often in school due t the time difference with Singapore and France. Not only did I skype with my family (i get t see dad finally!), I even skype with jiajia and yong hong. Plus the threes (ruoying, nick, me) and sherwin! (we skype in school and in the room) The project is so technical luh. I need more brain cells. I'm working on the project with David. All 7 of us are heading t the Singapore embassy tomorrow after school at 130pm. Mr Patrick needs us t register with the embassy of our presence. Since the Singapore embassy is situated at the Central Paris, I hope I can find a book store with organisers and stationary that I use. *fingers crossed* Nevertheless, my family is still top on my Miss-List<3 I miss you. pssh, for more updates on my trip in France, check out my facebook:Di try t upload pictures at faster rate (daily if possible) on facebook!<3

It's 1.08AM in Paris now. I couldn't get myself t sleep for quite awhile. I tried t watch some movies online t hypnotize myself t sleep. But I suddenly saw something that touches on my raw nerve. My heart feels so sour immediately, and tears just keep flowing down from my eyes. I'm blogging with my wet eyes, wet face, and sour heart. I can't seem t think of anything else anymore. I really miss them alot alot alot alot alot alot alot alot! >.< Suddenly, I thought of my dad and mummy. Tears just flowed uncontrollably from my eyes. I tried v hard t stop crying but images of my mummy and dad just keep on coming into my mind. I really miss them. They're really my main source of inspiration, and my strength. I love you two, my dearest parents. I just can't believe I even quarreled a little on the day of my departure. Thanks god, we made up again. :( :( :(

Today is the 14th day in France. I've clearly adapt here. Doing what a student does during the weekdays (going t school). Other than the weekdays, we'll go for sightseeing or shopping during the weekends. And for this weekend, we have already planned go going t the usual shopping mall for the Zara store there. Prolly gonna buy the jeans (skinny), tops, and flats i guess this weekend. I'm still helping my lil bros t keep a lookout for their Eastpak bagpacks. Lol. w00t! I've been skyping with my family these few days! I love skype luh! The image is clear and it's not so laggy, voice is clear too! I'm going t tell mom about the shopping trip t Zara on Sat:D Make my bros jealous! Yea, have t help that lil demon check out Zara's shoes for guys luh! Tmr then ask him about the design lo:D Please help me pray that I'll find a store that sells notepad, organisers, stationary here! I need them for my note taking. Argh! I just have t blame myself for not checking my bag thoroughly the night before I left for France. I can't blame mom! :( :( :( Au revoir:D

As much as the title said, it's already day 10 in france. One week or so has just passed here. I thought we have already spent one whole bunch of time over here. I missed home here and there. I did make a few long distance calls back home, even though i know it's going t cost me a bomb! But i wanna hear my mom's voice. I've yet t talk t my dad and bros. I bloody can't webcam with my family yet. So sian!!! :( I just read the card that my clique in school wrote for me. My heart feels alittle sour leh. I missed them too! Although my family still weighs more in that perspective:p Thanks for always being there for me:D You girls, tell me what you want from here online eh:D I love you all! Tomorrow is a public holiday here in France. They call it Easter Monday. No school! EISEE have a 2 weeks spring break too. But we can't join in their break! Argh! I'm still adapting t the lifestyle here. The sun always rise after 7am, and shine super bright at around 8am. The sun sets at 8smtg, close t 9pm everyday. Talking about the seven of us, I should say the bonds between one another is much closer, even more than the first time we met. I know we all can hit it off during fyp. Lol! Although the no. of girls is more than no. of guys, i still feel protected whenever they're with me. Sherwin always stay at the back of our group t make sure all of us are infront of him. He'll talk t you if you're alone or sitting at one corner. An attentive guy! David is the "mom" of this group. He practically take cares of everything. Always taking the lead, help us out if we need help! A born leader i have t say! Luckily there's him in this group, he took care of our airfare in Sg and here, he took care of everything too! Nicholas is the person whom i'm more close with in the group, other than Ruoying. The three of us are always together. He always correct our english pronounciation, makes fun of us etc. But because of him, there's laughters around. He always offers his help all the time! He's fabulous in the area of cooking eh! Seriously, he's like my lil brother lo:p Ruoying is the closest girlfriend in this group. We clicked easily, like sisters! We can talk about anything under the sun. Cooked together in each other's room. Suan each other but forget about it the next minute. Look out for me too:D Heart ya, sister! Carol is a girl who lol easily. Although i'm not v close t her, we can still talk about stuffs and camwhore! HAHA! I should say all seven of us camwhore alot yea! A hardworking girl too:D She's also from my lecture group! We don't talk last time but now, we talked alot. Lol! It's wonderful right:D Phyu stays away from the six of us but we still met up in school. We're in the same project room with David and Carol. She's a bubbly girl too:D Loves camwhoring too lah! >.< Thanks, just for lending each other ears, waiting for one another, giving in t each other, cooking for all of us, laughing together, eating together. I'm positive these 3 months will make all seven strangers from normal friends to the best buddies in the world! (although nothing beats your closed friends in sg, but cm'on, think about the times we spent in france!) Back t what I did yesterday. Yesterday, we all went for sightseeing with my supervisor, Mr Thibaut. He brought us t see The Lourve, Champs Elysees, Arc de Triomphe. I'm so lazy t blog out in detail. Anw, it was a good saturday spent! We had fun and had our dindin at Viagio again! I had mine penne cream salmon! Next time i'm going t try carbonara penne:p So everyone is happy that day i guess. Ruoying finally bought her tops from Promod. I got my tanktop in Promod too. Sherwin finally bought his cool jacket in Jules (i forgot the name) too. Today, we met up kinda late. Had lunch at home before meeting everyone. We headed t the Val d' Europe station ourselves for some retail therapy:D Phyu didn't went with us 'cause she's alittle sick and needed rest. So, the six of us trotted t the La Ville Village where all the brands are lined up in those Movie-World-Shops style lah! Pretty eh! We hitched a free shuttle bus over there. My, the shuttle bus is so small, can only fit in 6 people lah! -.- We started roaming around. Went in Ralph Lauren, Agnés b, Burberry etc. The Ralph Lauren classic polos, bags are still expensive aft the discount. So sian lo! One navy striped shirt dress caught my eye but it's a frigging 44 euros, from Ralph Lauren. Argh! Didn't bought it. I also saw one white canvas small handbag from Agnés b. It costs 99 euros i think. Super ex right, but i super like it lo! I hope there's a big discount please!!! We finally went into the Burberry store. It was crowded too. I had stuffs in mind t get from Burberry. Mom's wallet and Dad's belt. But the store don't offer guys' belts. Then i saw a nice wallet for mom, and i wanted t get a matching wallet for dad too. But they don't have the design and color for guys. Sad shit. After some rounds of hesitation, I finally got myself a wallet from Burberry too. w00t! Super heart pain lo! Please don't think that i'm using my parent's hard earned money and enjoy myself here. If you don't know, i'm paying them back slowly after I graduate. I also wanna ease their burden ever since i know of this france oipp. I'll be a good daughter t them too. I promise:D The damage today is super BIG! 270 euros:( I miss mom the most!!! >.< I'm still closest t my mom i guess 'cause I miss her the most over here. I cried aft i called her this morning (france time). I miss my beloved popo too! I hope popo gets well soon and i don't mind popo staying in my room aft i'm back from france. My irritating lil bros are also missed. They're my parents' messenger/middleman whenever my parents wanna talk t me. And they told me t lookout for their bags here. Don't worry, i'll help you buy 'cause you two are my closest lil bros:D <3 And ...... one picture of myself plus a group pic of all seven of us t end this post off:p

Today is the 7th day in France. I still miss home whenever I sees supermart, family, mom and kids tgt. The feeling is shitty. I've t endure this feeling somehow, for 2 more months. (that's the bad part of this post) (the good part starts from here) I frigging finally bought a trench coat here!!! Yay! I went over t the Noisy Le Grand station with ruoying, sherwin and nicholas, where the Centre Commercial Les Archades (shopping mall) is at. We kept on going t this shopping mall lah. HAHA! Finally chose the beige trench coat and a pink checkered short sleeved shirt in H&M. I had a hard time choosing 'cause there's alot of choices there. Girls are girls, i guess:p We went t have our dindin at the Viagio (a fastfood style pasta place) again. HAHA! We had our first time in Viagio two days ago with david. I ordered something different for the sauce. A curry chicken sauce with penne, the curry isn't v spicy:D It's t my liking, 'cause I don't really like too spicy stuffs. We ordered the Maxi Viagio set again, it consists of a box with the pasta, sandwiches (ham&cheese), a drink. It costs about 8.30 euros. It's kinda ex lah, but it's the cheapest we can all find and it tastes good and filling:D On a side note, I love the skies over here. It's so bluey, so pretty in the morning. I love taking photos of it. Never sick of it, just like mr eiffel tower:D Lol. Attachment t the school is kinda laid-back. We can report any time, go off any time too. Lunch break is at 1130am. Maybe 'cause it's the start of the attachment, that's why it's kinda slacky. I did some research and learnt how to do the php using html. My supervisor, Mr Tibault is nice and friendly! He's always willing t teach us stuffs, and super easy-going! >.< I'm super loving france. The people here are nice, and friendly. Help you when you look confused in the train station, and helped you t buy the tickets. Help you when she/he thought we wanted t take a group pic. Help you when you don't understand what they're saying. Always return us with a big wide smile. Always a bonjour/bonsiour on their mouth in my hostel here (btw, bonjour means good morning, good afternoon and bonsiour means good evening, good night). On a side note, I'm all ready for a good weekend in the Central Paris. I hope it's gonna be an eye-opener and fun for me:D Maybe i'm going t The Lourve (the biggest musuem in the world) tmr. Anywhere tourisy in the Central Paris i guess. I'm so gonna get the "J'adore Paris" grey pullover and the "I love Paris" tee here!!! And bros, i saw alot of clothes, caps and bags t your liking loh! All in all, i'm still trying t adapt the life here. The expenses here is kinda expensive. Haiz! I just have t reciprocrate my parents back by being a good daughter and excels in my studies. I miss them, my popo and my lil bros (although they're irritating) alot!!!!!! ARGH!

Today is day 6 in France. My skin condition is not v good. The weather here is very dry and cold, making the skin on my face peel and become v dry. Luckily mamo told trex about it, and trex went t ask a french female student. She brought me t the pharmacy opp the school and helped me get the face cream:D Thanks alot!!! I bought nivea cream from Carrefour last night. The french students said nivea cream is v famous here, and is used widely around. The skin condition on my leg is getting alittle better. Enough of my skin condition. I miss home alot. I miss my mom:( As I'm typing this now, I'm thinkng about my mom badly! She is always around when I need her. I shouldn't have talk back t her all the time! I feel super bad about it now. My mom actually tell me t buy the trench coat from H&M and get a long boots asap 'cause she doesn't want me t feel cold when I'm outside during the phone call this noon. I can hear that she's worried about me. I miss my mom the most:( Mommy, i'll take care of myself and make this 3 months trip a good experience and learn as much as I can in France. I won't let you and dad down. :( :( :(

I super can't sleep now!! It was 530am in paris time when i woke up about half an hour ago. I think both me and ruoying suffering from jetlag! 'cause it's noon over in SG!!! Damn! I wanna sleep leh! But I suddenly scare of the door, my passport, my money, the window etc:( I don't feel good alone, w/o my family! In the past, it was always my mom who's taking care of us! Haiz~ Thanks mom:D I miss you (mom), dad and my lil bros!!! They're always with me whenever I goes overseas. It feels weird w/o them:( I'm a blur queen!!! I forgot t bring my optical mouse, my handphone charger, RJ45 cable!!! Lucky my model is sony erricson, still can share with the rest! Then I just went t buy the RJ45 cable (internet cable) from the Aúchan supermart opposite my hostel. I can't share optical mouse right! And the mouse over here is kinda ex, I saw one and it's frigging 20 euros (40 SGD) leh! How t buy?!! Then the person cheated our feelings! There's no pillow in the room can! Wtf!!! Nicholas and I went t buy a pillow and a pillow case 'cause their pillow is big and squarish! I'm spending alot liao loh! Super heartache! We also went t buy grocery at the Aúchan supermart! Some of the stuffs are cheap in there, machiam like Giant in SG! And the mart sells Converse sneakers lo! And everyone buys grocery in bulk!!! They're also enviromental friendly, 'cause people have to choose how many plastic bag they want and pay accordingly or they bring their own shopping bag t put in their grocery. And smtg t shock you all, the cashier don't put in the grocey items into the plastic bags for us, we have to do it ourselves! I saw alot of kids eating stuffs off the shelves leh! Alot of teenagers all don't want t waste money on plastic bags so they handcarried their stuffs. I went t settle my dinner at the nearest fastfood restaurant, beside my hostel. It's called Quick, something like subway, but BETTER! The packaging are so colorful and there's so many other things t order. There's the normal hamburgers set meals, donuts, icecream, fondant chocolate pastry!!! But it's expensive lah! I bought one chicken burger set for 6.70 euros (12.40 SGD). Even though it's fastfood, it's also healthy leh:p The hamburger's bread is multi-grain kinda, and freshly baked from over, super nice!!! The french fries over here isn't so salty, like back in SG! And i tried the Fanta drink here, it's like orange juic soda! HAHA! To sum it off, I frigging hate jetlag and shoulder ache! They suck t the max! Can my body, please let me get some sleeeep????!!

Good night world. I'm in the other part of the globe, with about 7 hours time difference with my family and friends. Suffering some jetlag now. Apparently when it's 830pm in Paris, I'm feeling sleepy already 'cause SG is about 3am. Super shagged can! Didn't catch alot of winks on the plane. Called mom when I touched down in Paris. I still miss my family the most:( I'll elaborate more about the trip soon. I'm super sleepy, suffering from jet lag. So off t the dreamland!!! Good night:D It's freezing cold in Paris. And the fashion sense thing is in everyone.
